    Thanks for the info gorgeousingray. I enjoy reading your blog, so I'm glad you've decided to join Zoochat!

    Anyways, nice to see some new African Elephants being imported into the US by Pittsburgh. Only if more zoos would import some Asian Elephants...

    In one of the videos Willie the elephant manager alluded to that once the barn was constructed more imports would be considered! Also, I think with fewer asian elephants and more excellent enclosure, imports (such as the ones that took place in Taronga) from Thailand, India, and Europe are bound to happen.
